Announcing two new books both related to 1968 or the sixties.

*1968 and Global Cinema
<http://www.wsupress.wayne.edu/books/detail/1968-and-global-cinema>*,
co-edited by Christina Gerhardt and Sara Saljoughi, will be published in
October 2018 and is available for pre-order. The publisher, Wayne State
University Press, is offering a 20% discount. Order on-line at and receive
the discount by entering the code "1968."

*1968 and Global Cinema* addresses a notable gap in film studies. Although
scholarship exists on the late 1950s and 1960s New Wave films, research
that puts cinemas on 1968 into dialogue with one another across national
boundaries is surprisingly lacking. Only in recent years have histories of
1968 begun to consider the interplay among social movements globally. The
essays in this volume, edited by Christina Gerhardt and Sara Saljoughi,
cover a breadth of cinematic movements that were part of the era’s radical
politics and independence movements. Focusing on history, aesthetics, and
politics, each contribution illuminates conventional understandings of the
relationship of cinema to the events of 1968, or "the long Sixties."

<https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/screening-the-red-army-faction-9781501336690/>,

publisher, Bloomsbury, is offering a discount 35%*. *Order online at
www.bloomsbury.com and receive the discount by entering the code SCRNRAF on
the first page at checkout.

*Screening the Red Army Faction: Historical and Cultural Memory* explores
representations of the Red Army Faction (RAF) in print media, film and art,
locating an analysis of these texts in the historical and political context
of unfolding events. In this way, the book contributes both a new history
and a new cultural history of post-fascist era West Germany that grapples
with the fledging republic's most pivotal debates about the nature of
democracy and authority; about violence, its motivations and regulation;
and about its cultural afterlife. Looking back at the history of
representations of the RAF in various media, this book considers how our
understanding of the Cold War era, of the long sixties and of the RAF is
created and re-created through cultural texts.
